        Also if your upsteam won't accept DNS queries from specific
        ports they need to take a course in proper firewall design.
        There is absolutely no reason to block queries from DNS 
        servers from specific ports.  

        It's a lazy firewall administator that blocks off offered 
        services unnecessarially.

	It's not hard to keep offered services going even when
	trying to block rampent virus vectors.

	e.g.
		allow from all to nameserver port 53 
		block from port xxxx to any.

	or

		allow from all to any port 53 
		block from port xxxx to any.
